A stretch of the M4 between junctions 12 and 13 was closed by Thames Valley Police (TVP) and Highways England after lorry shed its diesel tank and its load of industrial handwipes just after Newbury shortly before 6am.

All three lanes were closed for a while as the clean-up and recovery process took place but one lane was reopened later in the day.

The final two lanes were reopened at some time in the early hours of Sunday morning - thought to be 2am or 3am after lane had been swept and gritted.
